❛ On motorbike ❜

AS SOON AS I entered the house I decided to call my best friend Yoon.

<Hi, Yoon. How are you?>
<Well are you? What can you tell me?>
<I'm fine!> I say enthusiastically.
<Hey, what's up? You're strange.. are you particularly happy or am I wrong?>

I just laugh.
<Come on, spit it out!>

So he told her what had happened in just two days.

<It's fantastic!!>
<Yes, but the problem now is that I really don't know how to dress for tonight. I don't know if I should dress elegant or casual.>
<Do this, call Jungwon and ask him.>
<Are you sure?> Yoon nods.
<Okay, I'll do it.>

I end the call and call Jungwon. Two seconds later he answers.

<Hey, Sohee! Tell me everything.>
<Hi, um.. I wanted to ask you how I should dress tonight. Is it a quiet outing or should I dress elegantly?>
<Wear whatever you want. Be yourself. Wear what you would wear to go out with your friends.>
<Okay..>

<Ah Sohee, Sunghoon will come to pick you up anyway.>
<Ah okay, that's fine.>

I'll call Yoon back instantly.

<So? What did he tell you?>
<He said to dress as I want.>
<Ok, then go and get dressed and then show me, I'll help you.>
<Thank you, I love you!> I say sending her a kiss.

After about an hour and many changes of clothes we manage to find the right outfit: a simple, long black dress, combined with white shoes and a handbag of the same color. A simple make-up consisting of eyeliner, mascara, blush and gloss. Wavy hair let fall on the shoulder, a gold necklace that stood out against the girl's olive skin and finally a sweet cotton candy perfume.

<You're perfect.> says Yoon.

The doorbell rings. We exchange a quick look and then say goodbye.

I go to the door, sigh and open it. I see something unexpected. Sunghoon on motorbike. I like guys who ride motorbikes, I can't help but find them attractive. Sunghoon takes off his helmet and shakes his head.

<Hi. Do you have a helmet, by any chance?> I ask him as I approach him. <Yes.> He pulls out a helmet and hands it to me. Sunghoon pats the seat behind him. I sit down, but both legs hang over the side. <You will fall if you sit like that.> So I sit like in a motorcycle position and my arms go around his waist. <Sorry, it's my first time riding a motorbike.>

The wind in your hair feels so good. There is also a smell of gas, which however is covered — largely — by the scents of the two, one sweet and one fresh.

Once we arrive at the pizzeria, we get off the motorbike, go in and see waving hands at the end of the room. It's the boys.

<Good evening Sohee.> Jungwon says. <Good evening to you too, Jungwon.> Sunghoon teases him. I sit between Sunoo and Jay, and Sunghoon is in front of me.

Me and the boys chat a lot. Sunghoon, Jay and Heeseung change their opinion about me. They understood that I am a simple person and that I would be very happy if I had them as friends.

<But why do you live alone?> Riki asks me.
<My sister got married and now lives with her husband. And... my parents died when I was little.> I pick up a slice of pizza and stop to stare into space.

<Oh sorry. Sorry if I asked you this question.> So cute, he also apologizes. <Don't worry, you couldn't have known.>

<Sungho-> Sunoo was interrupted by a pain in his leg: Sunghoon had kicked him. <Sunoo, is everything okay?> Heeseung asks him. He responds with a thumbs up.

━━━━━━

<Thanks guys, this evening was beautiful.>
<We'll do it again, rest assured!> replies Jake.
<See you tomorrow!> Everyone says goodbye, while Sunghoon and I break away from the group to go to the road that led to the motorbike.

The fresh air made my long hair fly, I walk with a sweet smile on my face. Sunghoon looks at me fascinated by my beauty, by the thin and delicate features of my face and the long legs revealed by the slit in my dress.

I notice it. I take his hand and pull him towards me. It brought him back to reality.

<Are you going to get a bump?> The boy makes a puzzled face. <If I hadn't been there, you would have hit a pole.> So Sunghoon looks behind him, and indeed there is a pole that he hadn't seen because he was too focused on me. <Why were you looking at me?>

<Why were you smiling?> He ask me and I smile again. <I'm just happy I went out with you instead of staying at home and moping like I usually do. I don't have a pink and flowery life. I have no friends. I'm trying to get out of depression. You know, you are very nice, you made me happy this evening. Thank you.> I wave the white purse back and forth.

<Sohee..if I may ask, why did your parents die?> She asks suddenly. <I'll tell you about it when we get home.>

<Ok, but if you don't want to tell me-> I'll stop it. <I'll tell you, I trust you.> Sunghoon stops, then followed by me.

<How can you trust me? You don't know me that well.> The boy asks curiously. <You inspire me with confidence.> After a few seconds of silence he speaks again. <What if I'm not like you're imagining me to be?>

<Aren't you?> Let's start walking again. <You can trust me, Sohee,> He says with conviction. <I'm just telling you that you shouldn't trust people right away. You must first get to know them and understand how they are made.> We've known each other for two days and he's already lecturing me? <Oh but I do this all the time. But with you it was... natural, that's it. Anyway, thanks for the advice.>

We get to the motorbike. The boy takes the helmet and puts it on me delicately, as if my face were made of porcelain. I watch him carefully as he fastens his helmet, touching my chin. After fastening it he looks at me and we stay like that for a few seconds, staring at each other, connected by an inexplicable understanding.
